Arkansas didn’t follow the education playbook that was failing students.

We built a new blueprint for success and the results are speaking for themselves. https://t.co/AsprwGkrwW

How does our Returning Education to the States waiver work?

[Secretary Linda McMahon @EDSecMcMahon]

Great visit in Arkansas alongside my friend, @SarahHuckabee, to approve the state's Returning Education to the States Waiver!

Consolidating federal funding streams and cutting red tape allows local educators to put students first, building a stronger foundation for their future career paths.

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

When you return education back to the states, it works.

Arkansas is already proving more education freedom empowers teachers and sets students up for success. This is how we’re continuing to put what matters most in education: learning.
